Dropbox achieves Privacy Shield Certification

Dropbox is committed to protecting the privacy and security of customer data, which is why we welcomed the adoption of the new EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework providing another mechanism for the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to the US. We applied early to be certified under Privacy Shield and are delighted to announce that we have now received certification. Protecting our customers’ privacy and keeping data secure is our highest priority. In addition to offering technical measures like encrypting files in transit and at rest, we were also one of the first major cloud service providers to achieve the ISO 27018 certification, a global standard for cloud privacy and data protection. We will work hard to maintain our Privacy Shield commitments and look forward to the success of the program. We support the new framework as a means to protect individual privacy while enabling users and businesses to benefit from the free flow of data that is so critical to the global economy.
